We  annex  a  list  of  Articles  in  the  Hardware  line, 
arranged  for  the  convenience  of  Merchants  in  making 
up  their  memorandums,  or  orders.  TI13  articles  are 
alphabetically  arranged  under  different  heads,  by  refe- 
rence to  which,  in  Index,  any  one  article  can  be  readily 
turned  to. 

There  is,  perhaps,  no  other  branch  of  the  Jobbing 
business  embracing  so  much  detail  as  the  Hardware,  or 
one  in  which  a  memorandum  of  this  kind  is  more 
needed,  and  especially  by  those  not  well  acquainted 
with  the  business. 

For  the  convenience  of  general  dealers  wc  have  1 
added  Blanks  for  other  branches  of  trade  as  per  Index, 
forming  a  complete  memorandum  book,  which  we  will 
take  pleasure  in  presenting  our  customers  at  any  time. 

Our  Stock  will,  be  found  full  at  all  seasons  to  meet 
the  wants  of  at  home,  and  near  by,  as  well  as  the 
more  distant  trade;  and  to  our  published  list  will  be 
added  all  new  and  useful  articles  coming  into  market, 
of  both  foreign  and  domestic  manufacture. 

Orders  by  letter  will  receive  especial  attention,  and 
will  be  filled  with  a  care  and  promptness  that  will  ensure 
the  confidence  of  all.

NEW-YORK    AND    ITS  ENVIRONS. 


The  principal  private  residences  are  in  the  upper  section  of  the  city, 
ai.d  some  of  them  are. truly  elegant.  Those  on  Fifth  Avenue  and  Madi- 
son Square  surpass  most  others  in  the  extravagance  of  cost  and  luxury, 
many  of  them  costing  each  a  fortune. 

The  Hold*  arc  numerous,  large  and  elegantly  furnished,  some 
of  the  principal  of  which  are  the

dent  of  the  United  States,  and  the  desk  which  he  used  while  preparing 
his  first  Message  to  the  first  Congress;  also  numerous  fine  portraits  of  | 
distinguished  individuals.   From  the  cupola  is  a  fine  view  of  the  City, 
Brooklyn,  Williamsburgh,  Jersey  City,  Hoboken,  the  Harbor,  East  and 
North  Rivers,  -fee. 

T1ie  Custom  House  is  located  at  the  corner  of  Wall  and 
Nassau  Streets.  It  is  built  principally  of  marble,  and  not  a  particle  of 
wood  is  used  in  its  construction.  It  may  be  visited  any  time  during  the 
day.   The  roof  affords  a  fine  view  of  the  Harbor. 

The  United  States  Assay  Office  is  situated  in  Wall-street, 
adjoining  the  Custom  House.  Its  object  is  determining  the  value  of  gold 
brought  into  New- York,  and  preparing  it  for  coinage  by  the  IT.  S.  Mint.  ( 
It  is  an  office  of  great  importance  to  the  commerce  of  New- York.  A 
single  arrival  from  California  brings  it  a  deposit  of  from  one  and  a  half 
to  two  millions. 

The  Merchants'  Exchange  is  situated  ia  Wall-street,  and 
occupies  the  whole  block  bounded  by  William-street,  Hanover-street  and  | 
^   Exchange  Place.   The  front  on  Wall-street  has  a  recessed  portico  of  j 
V    eighteen  massive  Grecian  Ionic  columns,  88  feet  high  by  4  feet  4  inches  ' 
in  diameter,  each  formed  from  a  solid  block  of  stone  and  weighing  forty- 
five  tons.   They  are  the  largest  whole  columns  in  the  world,  with  the 
exception  of  a  church  in  St.  Petersburgh,  and  cost  $3000  each. 

The  Post  Office,  formerly  the  Middle  Dutch  Church,  is  situated 
in  Nassau-street  between  Cedar  and  Liberty.  The  building  has  stood 
over  150  years.  During  the  Revolutionary  War  it  was  used  by  the 
British  successively  as  a  riding-school,  a  prison  and  a  hospital.  It  is  in 
contemplation,  as  soon  as  a  site  can  be  decided  on,  to  have  a  new  build- 
ing better  adapted  to  the  increasing  wants  of  the  city. 

The  New  Bible  House  occupies  the  block  bounded  by  the 
Third  and  Fourth  Avenues,  Eighth  and  Ninth-streets,  and  covers  three- 
"rths  of  an  acre  of  ground,  the  property  of  the  American  Bible  Society,

PLACES  AND  OBJECTS  OF  INTEREST. 

The  High  Bridge,  at  Harlem,  h\  which  the  Croton  Aaneduct 
is  brought  serosa  Harlem  Eirer,  is  the  most  imposing  and  nis  aifleent 
work  of  solid  masonry  to  be  four  '  in  the  country,  and  cost  on«  million 
of  dollars.  By  this  aqueduct,  which  is  built  of  stone,  brick  and  cemenf, 
the  Croton  Water  is  brought  a  distance  of  li  rty-rive  miles  to  the  City, 
and  is  carried  into 

The  Receiving  R^rnolr,  which  :  I  ['tween  70th  and 
86th  Streets,  and  6th  and  7th  Avenues.  This  covers  an  ana  of  85  acres, 
and  contan;     56,090,000  gallons  of  water  ;  from  this  il  is  <  carried  to 

The  Distributing  Rrservoir  '  on  5th  Avenue,  between 
40th  and  42d  Streets,  which  is  a  massive  structure  of  solid  masonry, 
covering  over  4  acres  of  ground,  and  holding  '25.000,000  gallons.  From 
these  reservoirs  the  water  is  conducted  in  iron  pipes  in  every  street 
through  the  city,  and  is  carried  to  the  top  of  the  highest  buildings.  The 
whole  work  cost  the  City  of  New- York  15  millions  of  dollars. 

The  Navy  Yard  is  situated  in  Wallabout  Bay.  on  the  Brooklyn 
side  of  the  river,  and  may  be  visited  everyday  except  Sunday.  The 
Nav.il  Dry  Dock  is  of  itself  well  worth  a  visit.  There  is.  perhaps,  no 
modern  structure  that  compares  with  this  national  work  in  dimensions, 
in  the  durability  of  the  material  of  which  it  is  composed,  or  the  beauty 
and  accuracy  of  its  workmanship. 

(Srrruwood  Cemetery  is  situated  on  Gowanus  Heights. 
miles  from  the  South  Ferry,  and  may  be  reached  by  Brooklyn  City  Cars 
from  either  Ferry.  The  grounds  now  comprise  860  acres,  !being*  more 
extensive  than  any  similar  institution  in  this  country  or  in. Europe,  the 
various  avenues,  exclusive  of  paths,  extending  about  15  miles.  The 
elevated  portions  afford- numerous  and  interesting  views,  .including  the 
Bay  and  Harbor  of  New-York  and  the  Atlantic  Ocean.  Large  sums  of 
money  have  been  expended  and  much  good  taste  displayed  in  the 
erection  of  monuments. 

Hlalen  Island  is  situated  in  New- York  Bay  and  forms  Bieh- 
i  ond  County.  It  is  14  miles  long  and  from  4  to  8  wide.  From  its  hills 
are  afforded  the  most  delightful  views  to  be  obtained  in  the  .vicinity  of 
New-Y"ork,  and  the  drives  around  the  island  are  charming.  The  Sea- 
men's Eetreat,  Bailors'  Snug  Harbor  (two  noble  institutions)  and  the 
Quarantine  grounds  are  located  here:  also,  Forts  Tompkins  and  Rich- 
mond, which,  in  connection  with  Fort  Hamilton  directly  opposite,  com- 
mand the  Narrows.  Steamboats  lea^e  the  foot  of  Broadway  every  half 
hour  during  the  dny. 

Coney  Inland,  ten  miles  below  New  York,  is  a  place  o"  great 
re.-ort  forsea  bathing,  being  directly  exposed  to  the  surgesof  the  Atlantic 
Ocean.  Steamboats  connect  with  it  several  times  during  the  day  in  the 
summer  season,  the  sail  affording  a  fine  view  of  the  Bay  and  Narrows 
with  the  different  fortifications. 

Black-well's  Island  is  situated  in  the  East  River,  and  extend^

arc  the  Penitentiary,  Lunatic  Asylum,  Alms  House,  Hospital,  and  espe- 
cially the  new  Work -House.  This  last  is  buil  t  entirely  of  cut  stone  taken 
from  the  quarries  of  the  Island,  and  is  more  complete  than  any  other 
structure  of  the  kind  in  the  country.  Directly  opposite  the  Island  on  the 
Long  Island  shore  are  the  pleasant  villages  of  Kavenswood  and  Astoria, 
which  contain  many  beautiful  residences.  Permits  to  visit  the  Island 
may  be  obtained  of'the  Secretary  of  Governors  of  Alms  House,  at  their 
office  in  Rotunda  in  the  Park. 

ESamlall'N  Island  lays  to  the  north  of  Blackwcll's  Island,  and 
opposite  109th-street.  It  is  perhaps  the  most  interesting  of  what  have 
been  termed  the  "  Islands  of  Charit}."  Upon  it  are  located  the  nurseries 
for  the  support  and  education  of  destitute  children,  and  is  worthy  of  being 
1  visited  by  all  who  desire  to  become  acquainted  with  the  charitable  and 
I  bene)  olent  agencies  of  New-York.  It  is  under  the  charge  of  the  Board 
of  Ten  Governors,  from  whom  permits  may  be  obtained  same  as  for 
Blackwcll's  Island. 

Hoboken  is  on  the  Jersey  shore,  opposite  the  city,  and  connects 
with  it  by  ferries  every  few  minutes.  The  Elysian  Fields,  so  called,  con- 
tain some  beautiful  walks,  and  a  fine  view  of  the  city  may  be  had  from 
the  high  grounds.

Ih  all  large  cities  there  are  many  contrivances  for  despoiling  the 
unsuspe.  'irfg  stranger,  and  in  the  long  catalogue  blackened  by  recorded 
villain^  here  are  none  in  more  constant  and  brazen  faced  practice 
than  '.he  Mock  Auction,  the  Patent  Safe  and  Pocket  Book  Drop 
Games. 

The  -Tlock  Auction  Rooms  arc  located  in  streets  most 
five  ited  by  strangers,  and  in  them  all  the  tricks,  devices  and 
swindles  that  unprincipled  ingenuity  can  invent  are  daily  and  hourly 
practiced,  and  in  some  instances  threats  and  personal  violence  are 
resorted  to.  The  article  usually  dealt  in  is  watches,  the  auctioneer 
offering  for  sale  a  genuine  gold  one,  while  the  company  in  attendance 
who  bid,  buy.  arid  chuckle  over  their  bargains,  are,  to -a  man,  of  the 
J \  Peter  Punk  -Vhool,  and  trained  to  this  mockery  of  business.  If  a 
'stranger  enters  and  is  induced  to  bid,  the  watch  is  "knocked  down"' 
to  him.  and  !  receives  in  lieu  of  the  genuine  article,  a  worthless  gal- 
vanized one.  Pry  Goods,  Cutlery  and  other  articles  are  also  olfered, 
the  stranger  who  bids  so  much  for  the  lot,  being  required  at  settle- 
ment to  pay  the  price  bid  for  each  article  in  the  lot. 

From  these  swindling  establishments  well  dressed  sharpers  spread 
theinoclves  over  the  city  wherever  strangers  are  to  be  met,  and  profess- 
ing to  be  merchants  from  the  country,  or  assuming  any  character  that 
will  l»est  serve  their  end.  worm  :.:emselves  into  an  acquaintance  and 
confidence  with  them;  this  leads,  perhaps,  to  a  social  walk,  during 
which,  as  if  by  accident  or  mere  curiosity,  ijfcy  saunter  into  the  sales 
room  with  vo  sign  but  the  red  flag,  and  whew  all  business  is  done  to 
thetune  of  "goi  ig:  going!  going!"  H" the  sharper  fails  to  induce  his 
new  acquaintance  to  purchase,  he  is  BUddc  j  eonvinccd  himself  that 
"such  bargains  should  not  be  lost,"  and  presently  buys  some  valuable 
watch  "i  other  article  at.  in  his  estimation,  but  -  a  fraction  of:4?  value." 
In  making  payment,  however,  he  finds  to  his  regret*1' his  money  has 
all  been  left  at  the  hotel,"  and  rather  than  lose  the  bargain  borrows  the 
trifling  sum  of  50,  60,  oi  100  dollars,  as  the  case  may  be,  of  his  new 
friend,  into  whose  possession  is  placed  his  valuable  purchase  "  as  secu-

rity  until  lie  returns  to  his  hotel ;»  hut  on  the  w*j  thith  r,  a  crowd  or 
turn  in  the  street  causes  a  separation,  when  the  stranger  finds,  too  late 
i>  a  ronic.lv,  that  his  security  is  not  worth  the  carrying. 

The  Patent  Safe  Swindle  Is,  p< ,  Uaps,  the  mos!  successful 
of  these  villanies,  and  one  hy  which  the  largest  amounts  are  obtained. 
The  stranger's  acquaintance  being  made  much  as  above  described,  and 
the  social  walk  proposed,  which  leads  before  he  is  aware  to  some  se- 
cluded place.   Here  they  are  met  by  another  sharper,  who  represents 
himself  from  some  distant  place,  and  on  his  way  to  Washington  to  pro 
cure  r  patent  for  an  ingenious  invention  which  he  calls  a  "  Patent 
Safe,"  "  Powder  Magazine,"  or  any  other  name  that  suits  him  and  pro- 
during  as  a  model  a  round  ball  of  ivory  or  other  material,  some 
two  inches  in  diameter.   This  leads  to  an  examination,  and  when  the 
inventor  s  back  is  turned,  the  first  sharper  accidentally  opens  it,  and  in 
the  s!  ang  r's  presence  removes  from  the  inside  a  piece  of  paper, 
quickly  closing  it  again.    A  discussion  ensues,  the  inventor  declaring 
the  contents  to  be  a  piece  of  paper,  which  the  sharper  doubting,  a  bet  is 
the  result,  and  generally  of  large  amount.   The  sharper,  finding  he  has 
"  nothing  but  lar-e  drafts,"  with  a  wink  offers  to  divide  with  the  stran- 
ger, if  he  will  loan  the  required  amount  until  he  -  returns  to  the  hotel," 
giving  as  security  one  of  the  drafts.  To  win  seems  certain;  and  the  loan 
is  made,  when  upon  opening  the  ball,  in  an  aperture  before  unnoticed 
a  paper  is  found.   Tho  winner  without  ceremony  moves  off  with  the 
money,  and  the  sharper,  in' astonishment  and  rage,  advising  the  Gran- 
ger to  remain  where  he  is  and  "avoid  the  fight,"  uttering  tearful 
threats,  follows  after.    The  security  is  of  course  worthless, °and  the 
stranger  is  left  to  find  his  way  back,  while  the  two  villains  soon  meet 
to  search  for  another  victim. 

The  Poekef-Book  Drop,  a  very  old  dodge,  is  carried  on 
by  two,  three,  or  four  of  these  respectable  looking  scoundrels,  who  hover 
around  within  signal  distance  of  each  other.  The  stranger,  as  he  walks 
along,  finds  a  person  brush  against  and  pass  him  as  if  from  picking  up 
somethingnear  his  feet,  and  on  the  instant  another  accosts  him  with  the 
inquiry,  if  he  has  "lost  his  pocket-book  ?»  The  man  just  past  be- 
ing hailed,  pretends  to  have  found  one,  which  appears  filled  with  bills, 
and  as  he  is  "in  haste  to  leave  the  city,"  proposes  the  contents  he  kept 
undisturbed,  claiming  as  his  share  of  the  "large  reward  that  will  no 


SHARPERS  AND 


».  TRICKS. 


dou!>t  be  offered."  with  the  chance  of  no  owner  being  found,  the  trifle 
of  fifteen  or  twenty  dollars  or  more,  the  amount  depending  upon  cir- 
cnmstrnce&  The  fairness  of  the  proposition  induces  the  stranger  to 
mftke  the  advance,  but  on  examination  the  prize  is  f- und  to  contain 
worthless  paper,  around  which  a  few  as  worthless  bills  are  ingeniously 
wrapped.  This  process  is  varied  by  inveigling  the  victim  into  some 
oiit->:'  the-way  place,  and  snatching  his  money  from  him  when  brought 
in  - . Ii t,  and  in  the  row  that  ensues  the  snatcher  maki::;r  good  hit 
escape. 

Their  ta^r-s  in  ail  these  swindles  are  varied  to  suit  circumstances, 
as  one  or  other  of  their  dodges  becomes  too  well  known,  but  "  e  point  j 
of  all  their  movements  is  to  get  hold  of  money,  which  once  m  their  j 
possession  the  victim  never  sees  again. 

We  do  not  offer  these  remarks  as  anything  new,  or  because  they  I 
arc  unknown  beyond  the  city,  for  they  have  been  published  throughout  ' 
the  land  ;  but  from  the  numerous  cases  that  have  come  to  our  know- 
ledge, some  much  to  our  disadvantage,  and  in  one  instance  to  the  com-  1 
plete  ruin  of  a  worthy  but  unsuspecting  merchant,  leads  us  to  believe 
•  that  they  may  for  the  first  time  meet  the  eye  of  some  one,  and  serve  to  •> 
make   im  cautious  in  giving  his  confidence  to  entire  strangers  in  this 
great  city.  We  also  believe  the  better  plan,  which  is  adopted  b  j  many 
merchants,  who  do  not  intend  to  pay  their  money  immediately  on  ar- 
riv:  '  is  to  deposite  with  some  responsible  house,  and  draw,  or  make 
frafta  .  [Mm  it  as  their  wants  require.
